Toyota Launching Six New Hybrids in 2012

Toyota recently announced that they'd be bringing
six new hybrid models to the market in the 2012 model year. This doesn't include
the new Toyota
Prius v, upcoming Toyota
Prius Plug-In Hybrid, or even the recently-announced
Toyota Prius C. Rather, Toyota has said that their goal is
to further expand its hybrid offerings.

More specifically, the Japanese automaker is
claiming that two of these six new models will be released under the luxury
Lexus brand, while the remaining four will see a Toyota badge. Furthermore, the
company also states that only three of the new hybrids will be built using
existing technologies. Expect the other three to be entirely new models. Other
than that though, Toyota hasn't divulged much information concerning these six
new hybrids.

Why is Toyota investing so heavily in
hybrid development? The answer is simple. Toyota knows that hybrid
are the only direction that the automotive industry can head in from here.
They're gaining better fuel economy, performance, and designs each day, and the
public is adopting them at an increasingly impressive rate. Of course, the
ultimate goal with these hybrid vehicles is to slowly transition the general
public from gasoline to 100-percent electric models, such as the upcoming
Toyota RAV4 EV and FT-EV City
Car.
